We love a little exclusive from time to time, and this one’s a heater with Australian model Elyse Knowles.

If you take a quick scroll through Elyse’s Instagram account, you’ll see that she’s a frequent globe-trotter who turns heads on all continents. This time, she’s back on the West Coast of the United States, taking on the rugged terrain in Joshua Tree. Empty stretches of road and vast deserts become Elyse’s playground, where she flexes in a Baywatch-esque one-piece and other fiery fits.

The man behind the lens is David Higgs, an international fashion photographer who’s kindly passed on his selects from the desert session – see his images above and find the full credits below:
